Kitchen Mailbox 2/18: Carlyle's Carrot Cake

Q. I recently had a piece of Carson's carrot cake and it was marvelous. Will they share?

A. Chef Jason Shelf of Palio can take credit for this wonderful melt-in-your-mouth carrot cake. It is the same carrot cake served at the other Mainstreet Ventures restaurants. Chef Jason's recipe makes two 18x24-inch cakes so I have cut down the recipe for home use. Thank you, Chef Jason - you've made many readers happy with this recipe.
